{{short description|American romance writer}}Alyssa Cole (born August 12, 1982) is an American author of historical, science fiction, and contemporary romance novels. Her stories include diverse casts of characters with a variety of professions, from Civil War spies[1] to modern day epidemiologists.[2] Her romance works explore both heterosexual and homosexual relationships.[3]

Life

Cole mainly resides in the Caribbean island of Martinique,[4] but also spends a portion of her time in New York City.[5]

During the process of writing a character with ADHD, Cole discovered she also lived with the same diagnosis.[6][7]

Career

Alyssa Cole began her writing career by publishing collections of short stories and novellas. Her stories tend to take place during important events in American history, including the Civil Rights movement, the Revolutionary War, and the Harlem Renaissance.[8]

Cole's Loyal League novels, a trilogy taking place with the backdrop of the American Civil War, is represented by Kensington Publishing Corporation.[8] Her Reluctant Royals novels, a contemporary romance series inspired by modern day royalty, is represented by Avon Romance.[9]

Alyssa Cole has collaborated with other authors on anthologies. These authors include Rose Learner, Courtney Milan,[5]

Lena Hart, Kianna Alexander, Piper Huguley,[4] and Kate McMurray[10].
At times, Cole has taken part in the month-long challenge of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) to encourage her writing habits and finish longer works.[8]

Cole's An Extraordinary Union, published in 2017,[15][16][17][18] won multiple awards, and her book A Princess in Theory was named one of The New York Times most notable books of 2018.[11][12]

Cole is a prominent figure in the effort to increase the representation of black authors in the romance publishing industry. Her discussion for the need for diversity in the genre has occurred in panels and largely on Twitter.[12]

Themes

Cole often has political and activist elements in her books. One of her historical novel series takes place during the Civil War and contains heroines and heroes who are involved in important political events in American history.[13] Another historical series, set in the American 1960's, sees Cole's characters in the middle of the Civil Rights movement.[14] Her contemporary novel, A Princess in Theory, contains a hero who is a prince of a small, fictional African country that deals with advances and issues modeled after real life nations of similar size and geography.[13]
